This elegant Japanese vintage bolo tie features a beautifully crafted zogan (damascene) centerpiece paired with a deep navy cord.
Zogan is a traditional Japanese metal-inlay technique in which fine gold and silver are embedded into a dark metal base, creating refined and long-lasting decorative patterns. The result is a striking contrast between the bright metallic inlay and the smooth, dark background—an art form highly valued for its precision and craftsmanship.
The centerpiece is mounted on a metal backing with a secure slide mechanism, allowing easy adjustment of the cord length. The braided cord and metal tips complete the refined, classic look.
